NYSAFC is pleased to offer a scholarship program to enhance, through academic achievement at the college level, the quality of leadership in the fire and life safety field and to assist Active, Associate, and Affiliate Association Members (and their spouses or children) in their efforts to pursue academic advancement.
Beginning in 2010, scholarships were awarded in memory of NYSAFC Past President Anthony J. "Andy" Messina and NYSAFC Executive Director Emeritus Ward A. Bohner and his wife Janice R. Bohner for their many years of faithful and dedicated service to the Association.
The Anthony J. "Andy" Messina Scholarship is awarded to students pursuing an emergency services degree (e.g., fire science, EMS, or emergency management). The Ward A. & Janice R. Bohner Scholarship is awarded to those pursuing a general course of study in any other field.
Through the program, NYSAFC provides scholarship grants to qualified students seeking to advance their education in their chosen field of study. This scholarship program is open to all current Active, Associate, and Affiliate members of NYSAFC (in good standing) and the spouses and children of those members. Tuition assistance is offered based upon merit, to individuals pursuing a higher education (full or part time) at an accredited institution of higher education. NYSAFC recognizes the professional diversity represented within fire service memberships and the value of encouraging its continuance. Therefore, all students meeting eligibility requirements and enrolled in matriculated college level programs will be considered for the scholarship program.
